2001 Concert Programme

Good Friday Musical Meditation

Friday 13 April 2001 6.00 pm
St John's Cathedral, Ann St, Brisbane

Concert 1 in the 2001 Subscription Series
  • Thomas Tallis: Lamentations of Jeremiah
  • Arvo Pärt: Te Deum
Tudor composer Thomas Tallis' much loved setting of the Lamentations displays the richness and depth of polyphony at its height. Te Deum, by Estonian Arvo Pärt, is an hypnotic and timeless expression of the ancient hymn and a truly appropriate vehicle for reflection and meditation. Both great works resonate with the spiritual dimensions of the time.

Heavenly Choir

Sunday 2 September 2001 4:00 pm
St Patrick's Catholic Church, Morgan Street, Fortitude Valley

Concert 2 in the 2001 Subscription Series
This was a concert with a difference. Canticum performed favourite virtuoso a capella works from its repertoire, as well as new works in preparation for our third CD recording. The choral process is a fascinating one, bringing together the individual styles of singer, director and audience. The audience joined us and took part in this performance workshop, then stayed for drinks afterwards.
The repertoire included:
  • Taverner: Magnificat
  • Rautavaara: Die erste Elegie
  • Nystedt: O crux
  • Maclean: Christ the King
  • Harvey: I love the Lord
  • Harris: Faire is the heaven
  • Willan: An apostrophe to the Heavenly Host

Peace on Earth

Sunday 25 November 2001 6:00 pm
Old Museum Concert Hall, Gregory Terrace, Brisbane
Concert 3 in the 2001 Subscription Series
Music, food and companionship go together well. The audience joined us, with organist Christopher Wrench, for this feast saluting three great composers. Chichester Psalms, with its bold statements of peace and unity, was performed with Bernstein's arrangement for organ, harp and percussion. Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb is a whimsical poem celebrating music and the gift of life. The concert concluded with Schoenberg's monumental work, Friede auf Erden, for a capella choir, a virtuosic paean to peace on earth.
Audience and choir alike brought a picnic dinner to enjoy during the one hour interval on the grounds of the historic Old Museum, then ushered in the holiday season by raising their voices with the mighty pipe organ.
  • Bernstein: Chichester Psalms
  • Britten: Rejoice in the Lamb
  • Schoenberg: Friede auf Erden
